Trying to copy an excel spreadsheet

I'm trying to copy an excel spreadsheet from the IFS to an externally 
described file whose fields allow nulls using CPYFRMIMPF as follows:

CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('/QDLS/BW/BW/XFER/EDIPACER.XLS') 
TOFILE(WLIBWH/MATPICK) MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CRLF)

I get the following error messages:

Message ID . . . . . . :   CPIA082       Severity . . . . . . . :   10  
Message type . . . . . :   Information

Message . . . . :   End-of-file found before physical end of file. 
Cause . . . . . :   An end-of-file character was found in the stream file
  before the end of the stream file was reached. 
Recovery  . . . :   Check to ensure correct stream file code page is 
  specified, then submit the command again.

Message . . . . :   Data from file QACP678463 in QRECOVERY truncated to 3  
 
  characters.  
Cause . . . . . :   The maximum record length for member QACP678463 in  
  from-file QACP678463 in library QRECOVERY is longer than the maximum 
record 
  length for to-file MATPICK in library WLIBWH.  
Technical description . . . . . . . . :   If the from-file is a tape file 
with
  variable length records or if multiple record formats are copied from a  
 
  logical file, only the records that are longer than 3 characters are  
  truncated.  If the to-file has a *FCFC value on the CTLCHAR parameter 
for 
  the printer file, the record length includes one byte for a control  
  character.  If the from-file and to-file are different file types (*SRC 
or 
  *DATA), this message is sent only if the data part of from-file records 
is 
  truncated in the to-file.  If FMTOPT(*NULLFLAGS) was specified then the  
 
  maximum record length of the to-file is the sum of the to-file record 
length
  and the number of null-capable fields in the to-file.  

I'm only getting 1 record copied and only 3 characters in that record (the 
length of the first field) and they're garbage.  Can someone please tell 
me what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks,

Dave
